I have wanted a breast augmentation for years now but my boyfriend thinks I should wait till after having kids. What are you expert opinions on this? Why should I wait? Or why is it okay to go ahead and have the implants done before kids?

Answer: Breast Augmentation Before or After Pregnancy This is a great question and the short answer is the choice is yours. There are pros and cons to each option and this is something we review at the consultation. In general, patients who have no immediate plans for children tend to feel very comfortable moving forward with the procedure, but if a patient is planning on having kids very soon I will usually recommend waiting until she is done having children to have the procedure.

Answer: Childbearing and Breast Augmentation Hello,It may be best to discuss this in person with your chosen Plastic Surgeon. If you plan to have children in the near future it may be best for you to wait and see how your body will change later, however many people undergo breast augmentation and later choose to have children. The breasts can grow and change during pregnancy but it is difficult to predict how much. It is possible that someone would require a breast lift or other secondary surgery at some point after childbearing but not guaranteed. Depending on the incision site and placement, effects on breastfeeding should be minimal. All the best
